Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With the previous group of witnesses, we had a very interesting discussion. COVID-19 was affecting developing countries less seriously, not only in terms of the severity of medical cases but also the number of deaths. Apart from a few exceptions, the impact was generally much lower in these countries. We also discussed the potential race for vaccines, which would place developing countries at a disadvantage.
My question is very straightforward: can we expect the pandemic to spread to the third world?
Just as the west might begin to extricate itself from the pandemic, could it continue for a while in the developing countries?
